Heading to Lisbon for work next month and was wondering if I should think about bringing along the gear. Looks like a number of good beaches and schools near the city. Anyone have any local knowledge or connections they would like to share?

November on the Atlantic coast will get you a lot of wind on stormy days so be prepared for big waves and a lot of wind when it's on. I would defintely bring my gear! You'll need a 5/4 wetsuit with booties and hood.
